I've tried it a few times. It took generally ten times as long to come up with code that I could have written more clearly by myself.
Can you give me an example of the kind of things you ask it to do, and the results you get?
I genuinely don't understand why people think it's good. I don't want to waste time trying to work out how to ask a computer to write code for me, when I could just be writing code.
- bdangubic 9mo agoit takes time: - to learn (strengths and limitations) - to configure (memory, slash commands, subagents, mcp, skills) - to iterate and adjust everything - … - … I spend a minimum of 1hr per day on this alone. The rewards are worth it.
- ErroneousBosh 9mo agoOkay, so I need to invest a lot of time and effort into something that will take longer to produce worse code? Because so far I've seen no evidence at all that AIs can generate functioning code, never mind good code.
- bdangubic 9mo agoAs I wrote “ The rewards are worth it.” perhaps I should have added “to me.” I would invest even more time as for me it is an insane multiplier and I have been coding for 29 years “by hand” before LLMs. I see evidence everywhere - there are many influential people in our professional writing/showing/… (e.g. https://antirez.com/news/158 https://antirez.com/news/158) the benefits and that personally made me make a significant investment to learn/setup/… I took it as a challenge, if other people can make them into a huge multiplier I was gonna be “with them” vs naysayers
